ZENG Daoqun, a member of the Communist Party of China (CPC), serves as a deputy to the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC) and as the Party Branch Secretary and Director of the Villagers’ Committee of Gaotan Village, Lianluo Town, Zigong City, Sichuan Province. Enrolled in 2019, she was a student of an Education Enhancement Programme for Rural Revitalisation and Community Governance at Zigong Open University. In 2021, she was awarded the title “National Outstanding Individual in Poverty Alleviation”, and in 2025, she received the honour of “National March 8th Red-Banner Holder”.

On ZENG’s “Map of Love”, the 8.2-square-kilometre Gaotan Village is like one big family, with 4,296 registered residents living under the same roof.

“Work in the communities is often complex, trivial, and detailed, and it requires tangible results to gain the recognition of the people,” ZENG shared her insights about her work. Years of experience in fulfilling her duties have led her to conclude that “Only by sitting on the same bench with the people, can we hear the genuine voices from the community, my responsibility is to speak up for the people and contribute to rural revitalisation”.

At this year’s Two Sessions, ZENG made several recommendations: First, to support the construction of a national-level data labelling base in Zigong City; second, to support Zigong City’s efforts to become a national logistics hub; third, to support the development of Zigong’s lantern industry to better tell China’s cultural stories by upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground; fourth, to establish a collaborative protection mechanism for historical buildings and cultural heritage sites; and fifth, to further promote the integration of technical education and vocational education to foster the high-quality development of technical education.
